D’Angelo Russell is Unbothered by Lakers Trade Rumors

DLo in these last 3 weeks is trade rumors tend to intensify um you’ve played some of the best basketball of your season um how have you been able to to do that and then what will the next 48 hours be in terms of do you get away

From stuff even more so and the build of the deadline how do you kind of handle it I don’t care at all show up to work that’s it um kind of piggy back in on that not just to ask the same question a different way but maybe this is a more interesting question

Uh you know the last six weeks since the tailbone injury you played really well uh you can’t control you can control what you do playing right so does that give you any sort of peace of mind um as you move forward I mean I can’t control that my contract makes sense to be

Traded either so I mean just play can’t control that um once again I don’t care at all just cuz you brought it up um what happened this summer like how did it become to be that your contract was able to be traded cuz you would have had

A tacit no trade agreement in your deal uh I just thought it made sense um obviously I’ve been here before I played for the Lakers before so I know what the requirements are to be um successful here are so um if you’re part of the future here you’ll be successful if

You’re not you’ll get traded and I’ve been traded before here so my Approach is just a little different um I really just genuinely humbly don’t care because I know I can’t control it one and two I just won’t allow my mind to go there um

I like to focus on this and you guys see I’ve been focusing on basketball and not comments and what’s trending on social so

D’Angelo Russell responds to recent trade rumors and says he is only focused on basketball.

  1. DLO – Question? When you get traded, would you consider returning to the Lakers for a 3rd tour of duty??? Also, you look stupid wearing sunglasses inside at night.

  2. LAKERS GNA MAKE A MISTAKE JUST TO PLEASE BRON HES GNA LEAV NEXT YEAR SHIT AINT GONA CHANGE … LETS RUN IT .BRO ALWAYS WANTS TRADES TEL HIM TO LEAVE FOREALS …

  3. He’s not a great defender but he’s the only natural pure shooter on the team. If they trade him they better be damn sure it’s for an elite shooter. Not much available in that category that they can afford.

  4. Leave DLO alone! How the hell can anyone be able to concentrate on playing basketball when all he hears is him getting traded. Rob Palinka needs to get fire and hire Bob Meyers.

  5. I mean hes used to it. Happens when you have lebron you're going to end moving and trading players on the daily

  6. I am a D-Lo H8’er & proud. We keep him & he’ll choke. It’s easy to talk now but in the playoffs this comment will age well. I do respect you are professional & playing unlike A.R. who i adore but outside of @ LOSTon, he’s been struggling. Thursday 12 p.m. HURRY UP

  7. Being LeBrons teammate must be insufferable. Imagine having to go to work and constantly hear from the media and fans that one player is trying to trade you and having to see cryptic tweets about wanting the organization to trade you and then having that guy act like he doesn't want any of you to be traded?

    I understand LeBron is a top 5 athlete but God damn he bitches and moans about the most ridiculous things. He's acting like the Lakers are the Dan Gilbert cavs he left before Miami when they've been the exact Opposite.

    They gave in to his demands traded a young core of players to get him help and they won a championship

    They got a better roster of players but injuries messed it up so he forces the organization to trade for Wetsbrook.

    Westbrook didn't work out and forced the Lakers to trade him for a great group of supporting players that helped get them to the conference finals.

    Now it's the same sht just different font.

  8. im a laker fan and we all know dlo didnt have a good start to the season that everybody would expect from him (he's not in the trade block for no reason), getting put in the trade block dont mean nothing… but man this past month man he been on a tear. i hope they keep him and he dont make the front office regret that decision.
